I'd also see it as a sign that they can't do much else so that they have to resort to something so trivial because they're incapable of finding something worse to do.To be precise, [MENTION=14705]Pix[/MENTION], I have suspected a teenager who used to be in one of my classes. He's no longer in my class, but then I don't know what would have prompted the slur since he shouldn't know, in any way, anything of my private life. At least not enough to infer that I am gay. What worried me further was the addition (later) of the four letters indicating the fourth floor. That sounded like a direct cue to go looking for me. You can never be too sure.
If it were me, I'd bring it up to whoever manages the building (they don't need to know anything about me, just that I saw it, and consider it in bad taste at best, and consider it likely, though not certainly, against me personally though I have no idea who'd do such a thing). Vandalism of any kind is generally not seen in a favorable light, especially if it affects the value of the property or marketability of whatever they're offering (rooms in this case). Hopefully they'd remove it and take some steps to catch whoever did it or otherwise send out a message (by their actions) that such won't be tolerated.
If they didn't then I'd be inclined to look for somewhere else to live. Not out of offense (in fact, it would annoy me that it would seem I was driven off), but because showing such a lack of concern means that when a real problems arise then they'll probably shrug that off, too, as not their concern.
That's just what I would do. Normally I think of vandalism of that nature as someone very immature, hopefully a young teenager who will grow out of it.
Thanks for your ideas, and support.
